ABOUT COMO THRIFT

An Eclectic Mix of Bargains

Repurpose—Reuse—Rejoice

The Stonington COMO operates one of the oldest thrift shops in the area- offering a wide array of selection at great discounts. It was established at the end of WWII, founded by Mrs. A. H. Gildersleeve, who determined the British War Relief efforts should now be directed locally, specifically to benefit the COMO.

Although most people only remember it at its current location at 45 Cutler Street, COMO Thrift has popped up at various locations:

Its first location was in the Potter Block on the corner of Water St and Wall St in approximately 1947. Then it moved to the basement at 22 Pearl St, which was the home of Mrs. Elizabeth Carlson. Following that, COMO Thrift was located at the home of Robert S. Jones at 152 Water Street. Then it moved just a short distance away at 161 Water Street before it found its final home at the Seaport Ford Building at 45 Cutler Street on May 1, 1975. The Seaport Ford building was built in 1946, is approximately 6,600 square-feet on a 1.8-acre parcel and includes the COMO Paddle Facilities and Children's Garden.

The shop’s inventory of quality clothing for the entire family, gently used furniture, jewelry, kitchenware, books, bric-a-brac, and many one-of-a-kind items come from donations of generous patrons who help to support the COMO and its programs. Donations are gratefully accepted and you may call to arrange to drop off your donation at 860-535-9041.
